You must be a member of a Community Group or serving on a volunteer strategic service team to participate in the Baby Dedication Celebration

There is no time limit to completing STEP 1

The only time limit is that your child must be under three years of age to participate in the Baby Dedication Celebration.

Space is limited for Baby Dedication Celebration

Not Infant Baptism

This event is not infant baptism. We believe that when people are old enough to understand what it means to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, they should have the opportunity to make that choice for themselves. A preschooler is not able to understand sin, forgiveness, the sacrifice our Savior made for us, and what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This event is about your commitment as a parent to lead your child into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, so that as he or she gets older, you are able to guide him or her and to help him or her understand what that means.
